How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[minnehaha]

I know what you mean.....and the roo is always sitting on the back of a chair on the porch peering in the window at me......he wants to check out my nest.

He probably wants to know where your roosts and nesting boxes are located.

I can hear him now:
"HHHMMM...such a big coop and not a roost, nor a nesting box in site, what a waste of prime real estate"

Yesterday was one of the most eggs layed by my chickens. About 45 eggs.

HOLY MOLY that is a lot of eggs, How many hens do you have? Do you sell your eggs?

Harbor freight, $10 for a digital backlit LCD scale. Weighs in grams, ozs, troy ozs, grains, and pennyweight.

3/4 yesterday. Today I am making pickled eggs. I plan to use eggs 3-7 days old and use the same cooking method as the last 2 times which made a perfectly peeled egg.

Do you have a link to your boiled egg cooking method? And your pickled egg recipe? I love pickled eggs!!!! I have 10 dozen eggs in the fridge..... I know lots of people who would love a jar of pickled eggs for Christmas (neighbors and such).

They're definitely smaller than store bought large eggs, but not absurdly so. They may qualify as medium. I don't have a scale sensitive enough for something as small as an egg, but it's on my list... as soon as I can justify to my wife why I need a scale that I'll probably only weigh eggs with.

As far as the color I thought it looked like light brown to me, but everyone I show the picture to sees pink as well. I had been thinking they were my Aussie girl who was the first to squat over a week ago, but I have four squatters now and maybe if it has a colored hue it's my EE, red. I'm kind of at a loss there as I haven't caught anybody in the act yet, despite my snooping. One of my BR cleared everyone out of the coop and was singing and tossing shavings around yesterday, but I think she laid the more tan of the two eggs.

There was another warm one waiting when I went out this morning and they've all been delicious, so I guess I'll thank all of the girls.

The first time you get a 95 gram (3.35 ounce) double yolker the size of a goose egg you will wish you had a food scale to weigh that puppy! Christmas is coming!!!!

I have the orange Primo Escali, it also weighs in ounces, I like weighing eggs in grams, that is how the egg industry weighs them for size:

I haven't gotten eggs yet today, but yesterday I got 19. My hens usually start up again just after Christmas, so I expect to be back up to 40-50 eggs in a few months hopefully. I'm looking forward to turkey and duck eggs soon too.

It's like portraits for my eggs. I keep telling my wife, "I can't believe they came from my chickens! And they look like real eggs!" I'm showing them off like they were baby pics in my wallet.

Lol, I hear ha, my phone pics are predominately chicken pics.

LOL....I understand!!!  They look pretty big as well, have you weighed them?  My pullets started laying around 28 gram eggs, they now lay 70+ gram eggs at 8 months old.  What breed  laid the light pink tinge egg, is that right? Or is it just the camera?  I have one pink egg layer, it's my BB Red Old English game hen, she is a tiny bantam and lays pink  25 gram eggs, which are delicious!

P.S.  I take pictures of my eggs with my phone and show them to people!    

I love egg pics.
